The field emission gun-scanning electron microscope (FEG-SEM) image shows that the TiO2 zigzag nanostructures were ~500 nm in length. Averagely two times enhanced UV-Vis absorption was recorded for zigzag structure compared to perpendicular TiO2 nanowires. The main band transition was observed at ~3.4 eV. The zigzag TiO2 exhibited high turn on voltage (+11 V) than that of nanowire (+2 V) detector under dark which were reduced to +0.2 V and +1.0 V under white light illumination, respectively. A maximum ~6 fold photo-responsivity was observed for the zigzag TiO2 compared with nanowire device at + 1.0 V applied potential. The maximum photo-responsivity of 0.36 A/W at 370 nm was measured for the zigzag TiO2 detector. The TiO2 zigzag detector showed slow response with rise time of 10.2 s and fall time of 10.3 s respectively. The UV (370 nm) to visible (450 nm) wavelength rejection ratio of photo-responsivity was recorded ~4 times for the detector.

In this study, TiO2 nanodots arrays were synthesized on p-type Si substrate by the glancing angle deposition technique. The transmission electron microscopy image shows that the particle size is between 1–15 nm. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and selected area electron diffraction (SEAD) analysis shows the polycrystalline nature of the nanodots, which is dominated by rutile phase. Optical absorption and transmission were recorded in UV region. The maximum photoluminescence emission intensity has been observed at 3.28 eV (∼377 nm) from TiO2 NDs. Biocompatibility of TiO2 NDs against blood platelets and erythrocytes (RBCs) was studied respectively by MTT assay and in vitro hemolysis assay, elucidating the excellent hemocompatibility of TiO2 nanodots. So, the chemical stability, and biocompatibility of TiO2 Nanodots makes this nanomaterial an ideal for application in bio-medical field.

The reason behind this immense interest lies in the ubiquitous nature of memristive dynamics within nanoscale devices, offering the potential for revolutionary applications. These applications span from energy-efficient memories to the development of physical neural networks and neuromorphic computing platforms. In this research article, the angle toppling technique (ATT) was employed to fabricate titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles with an estimated size of around 10 nm. The nanoparticles were deposited onto a 50 nm SiOx thin film (TF), which was situated on an n-type Si substrate. Subsequently, the samples underwent annealing processes at temperatures of 550 °C and 950 °C. The structural studies of the sample were done by field emission gun-scanning electron microscope (FEG-SEM) (JEOL, JSM-7600F). The as-fabricated sample exhibited noticeable clusters of nanoparticles, w...

This requires detection systems with felicitous spectral replication to the “invisible to the unclad eye” radiation leaks with utmost sensitivity and swiftness. Gallium Oxide (Ga2O3), a semiconductor, has gained a lot of attention among researchers due to its ultra-wideband gap (4.9eV) and high critical field with a value of 8 MV/cm. It is Transparent Conductive Oxide (TCO). Ga2O3 has five different atomic structures of Ga2O3, namely, the monoclinic (β-Ga2O3), rhombohedral (α), defective spinel (γ), cubic (δ), and orthorhombic (ε) structures. Of these, the β-polymorph is selected because of band gap energy (Eg ≈ 4.7–4.9 eV), it is highly stable in thermal and chemical properties. In this context, the present article demonstrates the best and most suitable technique for the deposition...

Each radiating element of the presented MIMO antenna consists of a diagonally truncated square patch, which is proximity coupled to the elliptical radiating patch. The proposed MIMO antenna is designed to resonate for three frequencies (4.2, 4.8, and 5.8 GHz) in the C-band range. The antenna shows circular polarization characteristics at 4.2 and 4.8 GHz frequencies. Each stacked element of the proposed antenna is excited independently through a 50 Ω coaxial feed. The Rogers RT Duroid/5880 dielectric substrate is used for the fabrication of two layers of the stacked MIMO antenna. The presented stacked MIMO antenna simulation and experimental outcomes are in good agreement.

Under this scenario, paper focuses on an efficient design of circular micro strip antenna at 5.8GHz and analyze the effects of slot in Circular microstrip antenna (CMSA). In the design circular patch is mounted on FR4. A circular slot and square slot is etched on the circular patch to glass epoxy substrate provide wide-band operation and individually effects of slots are analyzed. Antenna designs are simulated and analyzed by finite element method (FEM) based structural simulator (HFSS TM simulator software).The antenna is designed to operate in C band with low returnloss, high bandwidth and desirable voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR). Results of the proposed antenna structure shows that a square slot cut on circular patch will provide better bandwidth than a circular slotted CMSA.

The high resolution X-ray diffraction (HRXRD) analysis revealed lower angle diffraction peak (2) shifting of Rutile (002) phases of TiO2 from 61.9 to 61.56 for an increased In doped samples. Calculated average grain size from FESEM (field emission scanning electron microscope) gradually decreased from 21.12 nm to 17.03 mm with an increase in In content ranging from 1.45~17.30 at%. HRXRD data revealed that crystallite sizes also reduced from 21.79 nm to 16.93 nm with an increased In doping concentration. Doping of In leads to the formation of inhomogeneous InxTiy O2 alloy that enhances the transition between 3.3-3.42 eV energy levels with variation in doping concentration. The photo-efficiencies for increased doping concentration of In with 3.47 at% and 17.30 at% were enhanced by 2.56 and 2.76 times, respectively, compared to the undoped TiO2 TF detector and...

The samples were annealed at different temperatures 550 C and 950 C. The average grain sizes and surface RMS roughness have been increased from 9 nm, 0.62 nm (as deposited); 21 nm, 2.47 nm (550 C annealed) to 37 nm, 4.2 nm (950 C annealed). Fivefold maximum increase in optical absorption has been recorded for the 950 C annealed sample as compared to that of the as grown. The absorption and photoluminescence peaks show the red shift with an increase in annealing temperature and grain sizes. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has been used to investigate phases of nanoparticles. The junction capacitance of the Au/TiO 2 NPs device was observed to decrease with an increase in frequency. A minimum change in junction capacitance of 1 pF was calculated for 950 C annealed device for the variation of frequency from 500 Hz to 1 MHz. The results are used to simulate the capacitance as a function of frequency and voltage characteristic of TiO 2 NPs based device in different temperature. Simulated results are exceptionally close to experimental results. The TiO 2 NPs based device annealed at 950 C possessed higher impedance and lower conductance among all three type of devices. The sample annealed at 950 C showed the maximum capacitance (0.09 pF at 0 V) as well as charge (∼0.6 Coulomb at +8 V) retention compared to that of the 550 C annealed and as deposited samples.

The transmission electron microscopy image shows the formation of heterostructures. A typical annealed SiOx–In2−xO3−y nanocolumn consists of ~70 nm SiOx and ~170 nm long In2−xO3−y, which is polycrystalline in nature. Two-fold improved photon absorption is observed for the annealed SiOx–In2−xO3−y compared with the as-deposited columnar arrays. The SiOx–In2−xO3−y annealed device exhibits a low leakage current of 2.8 × 10−7 A (−5 V). A ~352 times enhanced photosensitivity is observed for the annealed device at −1.5 V as compared with the as-deposited one. The hole-trapping process at the metal–annealed nanocolumn interface states efficiently reduces the depletion width under reverse bias and the Schottky height at the junction, which produces enhanced electron tunnelling and, therefore, enhanced device photosensitivity.

However, the accuracy of ML models decreases as the volume of data increases since they are not able to capture the diversity and important regularities accompanying the huge volume. In this regard, the statistical mechanics’ (SM) paradigm for ML models must be investigated. SM like Big Data also deals with a large volume of instances. A correlation principle is proposed between data represented as words in a text corpus and a large volume of particles within a system. Based on it a new similarity measure, namely degeneracy-based statistical similarity measure (DSSM) is proposed. The DSSM is directly proportional to the ratio of the total energy of two documents with maximally similar words and the total number of distinct words in the document. The DSSM showed higher performance with regards to existing measures such as Euclidean, Cosine, SMTP, and MBSM.
